Should priests deny Biden Communion?
Theologians weigh in.
Posted By: Imright, 5/18/2021 8:13:41 AM
President Joe Biden has drawn criticism for receiving Communion at Mass as a politician who promotes policies explicitly opposed to Catholic teaching.Traditional Catholic scholars warn that the president is causing great scandal by receiving Holy Communion, while progressive theologians protest that Church teaching is open to interpretation and say that abortion should not be a litmus test for Communion.The president has spoken about his Catholicism through his entire political career, referring to his faith as a source of solace during turbulent times in his life. Biden exhibits many outward signs of his Catholicism: he frequently goes to mass, has met with Pope Francis,

In a clip obtained by American Greatness, peaceful protestors on the west side of the Capitol building on January 6 are shown confronted by U.S. Capitol Police reportedly using flashbangs—a type of stun grenade used to disorient a target’s senses—and rubber bullets. The approximate time of the confrontation was around 1:36 p.m.(Note: the clip contains strong language throughout and is probably not safe for work.) (Video)The man speaking in the video is Kash Kelly, a former gang member and founder of the Streetlights Unity Movement and Foundation, a group he launched in 2020 in opposition to Black Lives Matters
Thinking about selling some appreciated investments before the big Biden tax hike kicks in?It may already be too late.President Biden’s blockbuster $6 trillion budget assumes that his proposed capital-gains tax hike took effect in April, according to the Wall Street Journal.Biden has proposed raising the top tax rate on capital gains to 43.4 percent from 23.8 percent for households with income over $1 million.“The effective date for the capital-gains tax rate increase would be tied to Mr. Biden’s announcement of the tax increase as part of his American Families Plan,
Premiere Radio Networks has found its replacement for The Rush Limbaugh Show. The iHeartMedia-owned radio giant says that Clay Travis and Buck Sexton will host the daily program from 12-3 p.m. ET, beginning June 21. Premiere has been running reruns of Limbaugh’s show in the timeslot ever since the radio host passed away in February. Both Travis and Sexton are regulars on Fox News Channel, and Travis recently sold his sports-culture website Outkick to Fox Corp. as part of a larger corporate push into sports betting.
The explosion of violent crime in cities controlled by Democrats is becoming increasingly worrisome for the party. Heading into the hot summer months it could have serious political consequences.The critical midterm elections are coming next year and Democrat one-party rule is hanging in the balance. Democrats know something has to be done to stave off a voter revolt. and James Carville has come up with an innovative idea to just blame it all on former President Donald J. Trump.In a Wednesday op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, the longtime political operative urged Democrats
An audio recording of Hunter Biden talking to a friend about smoking crack cocaine with a famous mayor of DC was recently handed over to The Gateway Pundit.This reintroduces the fact that Joe Biden wrote laws about drug usage that he had no intention of following, even in his own family. It also proves, once again, that the government covered up crimes by the Biden family by suppressing Hunter’s laptop, and that our Intelligence agencies’ leaders interfered in the 2020 Presidential election.
But first- here is
I’m not sure we’ve had a presidential administration as weak as Joe Biden’s since, well, the Obama administration. Actually, when I put it that way, I guess it hasn’t really be that long. Still, the stakes are high and making impotence a key part of one’s foreign policy is a recipe for disaster.Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Biden and his handlers are doing. The impotence is the point. (Tweet/Video) The idea that the real issue isn’t how the virus originated is perhaps the most asinine statement made about COVID in the last several weeks. I realize that the Biden administration is on the defensive after canceling an investigation
The Senate unanimously passed Republican Senator Josh Hawley’s bill that requires the Biden administration and the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information within 90 days regarding the origins of the COVID-19 virus.“The American people deserve to know about the origins of COVID-19,” Hawley proclaimed on the Senate floor prior to the bill passing. “They deserve to know how this terrible pandemic that has ravaged the globe and our country, how it got started, and what China’s role was in starting it.”Hawley contends that American voters have a right to see the evidence and decide for themselves where the virus originated from rather than being spoon-fed speculation
Notre Dame is preparing for full capacity at home football games this fall.The Irish say they’ll make all 77,622 seats at Notre Dame Stadium available for purchase and continue to consult with local health officials.Starting this week, season ticket holders will be able to renew their tickets. In mid-July, the school’s ticket lottery will begin and single-game tickets will be made available in mid-August.Director of Athletics Jack Swarbrick says based on information from health officials the university will decide what protocols and procedures will be needed to keep everybody safe
Joe Biden Has Left the Building -My entry into the world of writing about conservative politics more than twenty years ago was prompted by a most righteous indignation about liberal media bias. If a time when that bias wasn’t awful existed, no one alive today is old enough to remember it.One of Trump’s greatest of the many gifts he gave to the American people is that we no longer have to listen to liberals insisting that the media isn’t biased and that it’s all just a figment of the collective conservative imagination. They were helpless under his power, and he made them parade their awfulness in front of the public
Facebook was today accused of 'showing its true and ugly colours' and smothering free speech to cosy up to China as it scrapped its ban on posts debating whether Covid-19 could be man-made - but only after Joe Biden ordered the CIA to probe if the virus came from a Wuhan lab.Mark Zuckerberg's global policy chief Nick Clegg, the former British MP and Liberal Democrat leader, has also been branded 'feeble' for allowing months of censorship on the social network.Critics branded Facebook's behaviour had been 'contemptible' and hope they will now respect free speech rather than 'ingratiating' themselves with states such as China, which has banned
Enough of Fauci’s lies!

Dr. Anthony Fauci was absolutely adamant that the National Institutes of Health has never funded dangerous research on bat viruses in the Chinese lab suspected of being the source of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was questioned by Republican Sen. Rand Paul two weeks ago.
“Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund ‘gain of function’ research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Fauci said in the fiery Senate hearing on May 11. He couldn’t have been more certain.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan plans to condemn the populist appeal of former President Donald Trump during a Thursday evening speech at the Reagan library.“If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere,” Ryan plans to say according to speech excerpts released to Punchbowl News.To win back the majority in Congress, Ryan will predict, Republicans need to focus on “conservative principles” and be agreeable.
“We win majorities by directing our loyalty and respect to voters, and by staying faithful to the conservative principles that unite us,” he plans to say.

Along with its ongoing ethical problems, a deceptive marketing campaign, and a continued hatred for non-liberal voices, it’s been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for the Jeffrey Zucker-led CNN. And as per the latest Nielsen ratings, CNN has continued to hemorrhage viewers with primetime and entire day total viewership down over 70 percent since January.
Nielsen Media Research has the breakdown and it’s not pretty, no matter how the Zucker Borg would spin it. Since a January high of roughly 798,000 primetime viewers and 530,000 total day viewers in the 25-54 demographic, CNN has fallen off a cliff and into the pit of misery
This week, we're marking the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. His death at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin—who has been convicted of two counts of murder and one of manslaughter—sparked a national conversation about racism in America. It's a conversation that's long overdue, that activists like us have been waiting for for too long. (Snip) Rather than exposing our struggle, it dilutes and erases it behind a broader and inaccurate class of victims. It's no wonder that the phrases "people of color" or even BIPOC in this context aggravates many Black people CORRECTION*

Fail a Basic Mental Competency Test’ —
They Think Trump Won 36 replies
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, on Tuesday’s “The Last Word,” said that 53% of Republicans failed “a basic mental competency test question,” which is who is the president of the United States” because they think Donald Trump won the 2020 election.Discussing new Texas election legislation, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said, “It’s very much a naked power grab. Also, if you look at the leadership in Texas, Lawrence, it very much is out of sync with the population of Texas. Texas is an incredibly diverse state, and the Republican leadership in Texas is not. It’s very sad to say, but I think it’s true that it is a lot of Republican White males
Hillary and Bill Clinton were spotted having dinner with friends on Manhattan's Upper East Side Tuesday evening. Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show the presidential pair arriving separately with a Secret Service detail to posh uptown restaurant Fleming by Le Bilboquet. But Hillary, sipping her favorite white wine, looked glum as her ever-engaging husband was deep in conversation with Sting's wife Trudie Styler, who at one point rested her head on Bill's shoulder for a group selfie. Bill was dressed in a blue suit with a checkered button-down shirt—no tie—while Hillary wore a three-quarter-length striped wool coat as she drank her wine.
An administrator at Brandeis University declared “all White people are racist” and that she “hates Whiteness” in a defense of critical race theory on Saturday. Kate Slater, an assistant dean of graduate student affairs at the private Massachusetts university and a self-described “White anti-racist educator,” faced criticism on social media after she posted a message on Instagram defending critical race theory, which teaches that America’s institutions are inherently racist.(Snip) “Yes, all White people are racist in that all White people have been conditioned in a society where one’s racial identity determines life experiences/outcomes and Whiteness is the norm and the default.
Yesterday, Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki why President Biden wasn’t pressing for more information on the Wuhan lab leak theory. “We have repeatedly called for the WHO to support an expert-driven evaluation of the pandemic’s origins,” Psaki replied. That answer was very troubling, I observed in our story on Psaki’s response. Is there an American investigation still ongoing into the question from the Biden team, I asked? Because it doesn’t sound like it, from what Psaki was saying — and because we surely can’t trust anything that WHO concludes on the matter, given their prior actions.
Turns out that was a good question to ask. Because now there are reports
George Floyd's family have raised their fists on the lawn of the White House after meeting with President Joe Biden to discuss police reform on the first anniversary of his death.Biden welcomed the Floyds into the Oval Office, describing them as 'courageous,' including George's six-year-old daughter Gianna who was seen eating ice cream outside after the meeting.'I got a chance to spend a lot of time with Gianna and the family, and we just talked about – you know, it’s the one-year anniversary,' Biden told reporters as he left the White House for a brief trip to Wilmington. Also in attendance was Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby
Ford Motor Co (F.N) on Wednesday outlined plans to boost spending on its electrification efforts by more than a third and said it aims to have 40% of its global volume be all electric by 2030 in a move to have investors value it more like a technology company. Under a plan dubbed "Ford+," the No. 2 U.S. automaker said it now expects to spend more than $30 billion on electrification, including battery development, by 2030, up from its prior target of $22 billion. It has launched the all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover, and plans to introduce electric versions of the
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the embattled former Republican conference chair, during an interview Wednesday with the Wall Street Journal’s “Women, Power and Equity” event, said she sees her “re-election bid as a referendum on the future of the Republican Party.”
The Wyoming Republican said voters are “potentially facing a choice between what she sees as traditional conservative values and loyalty to former President Donald Trump.” She said she already sees the upcoming 2022 midterm election as being a difficult one for her.
Cheney was ousted by her party from leadership earlier this month for having repeatedly criticized former President Donald Trump for his past statements on the 2020 election.
The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview.
Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events.
